Israel kills to Maintain Blockade

[Fragony]

That was last time as you say, this time there weren't any,

And how are they supposed to know. I do agree it was clumsy, it was stupid to consider the possibity there were people who actually want nothing but peace. Clear the deck with a watercannon next time, would have just as bad pr though when people who want nothing but peace look like wet cats. The usual suspects will be just as rightiously outraged and overtaken with grief. Like the kid that keeps pinching and runs to teacher crying hysterically when he finally gets a punch. Here there would be the same demonstrations, that become riots, and they will squeel like pigs when they are arrested.

The Ship is advertising the Org on the side of it. Did our lord and master TosaInu decide to get involved?

[Fragony]

If Tosa would chose to get involved there would be peace, his pressence alone would leave all in awe

They find out by searching the ship after boarding it in a proper way, which, unless there is armed(arms do usually not include chairs) resistance, is usually not a process during which people die. The water cannon is actually a good idea and one used by police forces around the world, apparently it even saved some ships from getting boarded by pirates (who usually have more dangerous weapons than chairs). The only people who get upset at water cannons are the ones who hate the police/government anyway, the advantages are you don't annoy everybody else as well and nobody dies.

I would think Tribesman, although in that case it'd be a wonder that Israel managed to board the ship at all.

Well, apparently the protocols/procedures for the stoppage were applied correctly this time.

Fragony:

The interception distance chosen in the incident of several days ago was clearly chosen by the Israelis to remind all involved that Israel has imposed a 68km security zone. They made the interception just inside that distance. Most of the rest of the international community does not accept the validity of that security zone and views the point of interception as international waters.

Separately and additionally, most of the rest of the international community wants the blockade ended as of 8 months ago. They believe it to have stopped only a limited number of weapons etc., but to have severely hampered life in Gaza and to have caused needless deaths. The international community is just not willing to shoot Israelis in order to end the blockade.
